Johnson definitely in front of Brown and Bell.
But about McCallum, absolutely sucks the guy never ever seemed to have caught a break. He had a huge fight lined up with the pound for pound number 1 Donald Curry, and what does Curry do? Loses to an unknown named Lloyd Honneygan. Comes close to securing a Hagler bout many times, when he finally thinks he has it, Leonard comes out of his retirement. Then had some injury problems when he finally fought at 160, he came up a tad bit short against Sumbalay.
Most of his real high profile bouts came at 160 after injury problems and well past his best years. Against Toney, you can tell he just didn't have any snap in his punch and he faded down the stretch but still made for a hell of a fight.
IMO, he is the best 154 lber ever and peaked with his KO over Curry. He was spectacular that night.
